Multiplayer Tips and Strategies

This tip actually goes for every multiplayer mode. While it may be tempting to use your sonar goggles indefinitely while stalking your prey, be sure to remove them at regular intervals to get a bearing on the area's lighting. It's nearly impossible to discern illuminated areas with them on so you could potentially be walking into a well-lit location where an enemy can spot you easily.

Solidarity

Strength in numbers rings true here.

Don't venture too far from your partner as sticking close ensures you don't lose track of what your comrade is up to and makes reviving them a breeze. That said, don't be afraid to coordinate a decoy move to then flank the enemy; just be sure to regroup quickly. Separating from your partner is a sure way to become confused and result in mission failure.

'Strategery'

Preparation is an important part of combat.

Coordinate with your partner which gadgets they're taking in with them as having a lot of one type of weapon doesn't do any good. Spread the wealth and take in a couple of EMP type weapons as well as offensive gadgets such as the remote mines or frag grenades.

Last Stand

Darkness Falls

Find every destructible light in the area.

Your priority while waiting for an assault wave to begin should be shrouding the entire map in darkness. Work with your partner to take out all of the lights to give you the upper hand.

Get Into Position

Taking this position serves two purposes.

Find a spot near the EMP generator and bunker down there. This ensures that you will have a clear vantage point on any enemies that come to damage it. Your partner should cover you so they can take out any enemies that come up from behind you.

Face-Off

Get Your Priorities Straight

There's only one of him.

Seeking out and killing your human opponent yields more points but since there's only one of him and many generic enemies it doesn't pay off to do only that. Focus on clearing out the armies of generic enemies swarming about; of course, if you see your opponent and you've got a clear shot, take it.

Don't Make A Move

Don't move a muscle. Ok, you can, just not too often.

Don't move around the map too much once you've found a nice spot to hide in. Use your sonar goggles to see how many enemies are in the room and clear them out before moving to another area. Oftentimes, moving while one enemy is left alive means certain death.

Infiltration

Slow and Steady

A plodding pace is much more effective in this mode than a quick run through.

While it may pain you to do this, moving through a map slowly and with meticulous care is the only way be successful. This allows for you to keep in constant communication with your partner about what the next target should be and where to move next.

Silence is Golden

The quieter the better.

Use hand to hand kills whenever possible as they make the least noise and are less likely to raise the suspicion of any guards. Just be sure that there aren't any guards nearby that may catch you while you are in the killing animation.
